What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values service excellence and allows for personal growth.

I am a proactive and dependable bilingual professional with over 12 years of experience in customer service, culinary operations, and team coordination. My journey has been marked by a commitment to service excellence and a passion for creating memorable experiences for customers. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my strong communication skills and adaptability to meet diverse needs.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Chef de Partie and Head Chef, where I honed my culinary skills and leadership abilities. I have successfully managed kitchen operations, mentored junior staff, and ensured the highest standards of food safety and quality. My experience as an owner and chef of a health-focused meal production business has further enhanced my understanding of customer relationships and logistics in the culinary field.

Currently, I am seeking a remote opportunity that allows me to contribute my skills while supporting my mother through advanced medical treatment. I am tech-savvy and emotionally intelligent, ready to bring my expertise in customer support and virtual assistance to a new team.
